Patent attributes
A vehicle vibration dampening mount assembly includes a housing, a resilient material, a sleeve and a solenoid. The resilient material has an outer portion attached to an interior surface of the housing and defines first and second chambers with a fluid passage extending therebetween. The sleeve is disposed within the housing and is attached to a central portion of the resilient material extending from a first end to a second end of the housing. The solenoid has a fixed portion mounted to the first end of the housing and a movable portion fixedly attached to the sleeve for movement therewith. The fixed portion has an electromagnetic coil arranged concentrically around the movable portion. The solenoid is configured to selectively move the moveable portion, the sleeve and the central portion of the resilient material in response to electrical current being provided to the electromagnetic coil.
